Ok, so it looks like we are going to run this one for 1 more week and see where it goes from there.  I have gotten emails back from Stylelife members about how good it is and also guys that have had issues with it.  I gotta ask, how is your frame while delivering this?

This is more of a game for when you are in set and have comfort built…. with the entire set.  I remember when I first started, I met a guy that had never gone out sarging.  I asked him why he was getting into the community.  While he answered, we were walking down the street and while he was mid-sentence, we ran right into a bachelorette party.  I opened, held a strong frame, and pulled the whole set to a near by bar that I knew was amazing.  We ended up doing a routine like this with the whole set.  It was amazing.  We went from meeting the girls to pulling them to a vodka bar, to getting them to do fun and interesting things.

Now, I challenge you guys.  Can you do this?  I want the Truth and the Dares….  Hell, make up a few of your own and post your results….  One more week.

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

P.S.  I would like to send a shout out to a brother in the field.  Prodigy…. Happy 21st Birthday.  Hope it is the best………..

Or, do you DARE?

Welcome back to yet another great mission on Pick Up Labs.  This was something that was found in the catacombs of the Stylelife Academy posts from an incredible social artist; Evolve.  For everyone that doesn’t know, Evolve has quite the stats when it comes to game.  Ask him about his 007 field report or any of his for that matter.  Anyway, a student brought this up a while ago and it then became a phenom.  It was so crazy, we had to keep it on lock down for a while.  Now, I am bringing it into the light.

What is this I speak of?

The Truth is, I would DARE you to pull this off with your next set.  I give you all:

Evolve’s Truth or Dare

This breakdown was brought to you by my good friend, and fellow Stylelife Moderator; Prodigy.  Set this routine up and get to crackin on it.  I want to see some great stories about how well it worked for you or if it didn’t work at all.  Post all your results by March 1st, 2010 and I will have them up by Tuesday.

Keep Framing and Gaming

No, this isn’t a robbery or a concert.  This is Pick Up Labs.  And, thanks to Stylelife Academy student Farmer for his breakdown of quite an awesome Palm Reading DHV.  I hope you guys ran this as much as I did.  I usually go off and talk about the routine for a moment and where it came from, but I would first like to add my little story.

The best set I ran this on, was my first set.  This was the night that Farmer sent it to me to review.  He set up a really good breakdown of a routine perfected by a Stylelife crew member; Gypsy.  Now, sadly, I didn’t rehearse it very much.  The girl I ended up running it on was REALLY interested that I knew a bit about Palm Reading.  Funny thing is, this was probably my first time ever really attempting it.  And guess what!!!  I actually got it all ass backwards.  I was reading her palm as it was facing me and kept remembering the lines backwards.  AND IT STILL WORKED.  How awesome is that?

So, with that, I give you the results of the Palm Reading DHV:

1. Does it work successfully?

All testers stated it was a pretty successful routine. 5/5
2. How difficult is this routine to master?

All testers stated it was relatively easy.  4/5 for being easy.
3. Did you get called out on using this routine?

None of the testers stated that they were called out.  5/5 for not getting called out.

4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?

Most of the testers rated this routine as having a pretty strong hook point.  4/5 for strong hook point.

5. Rapport building strength?

All testers stated it had a pretty strong Rapport Building Strength. 4/5 for strong Rapport.

6. Your PUA-AFC level?

Most testers stated they were neither a PUA nor an AFC.  All testers fit in between.

7. Number of times tested?

46 times

8. Any additional insight?

“I wanted more info about the lines, what various patterns mean, spacing, there is a lot of stuff on youtube about this but you have to spend time separating the negative from the positive and translating it into NLP style comments that intrigue and please.” - Silver Tongue

“Kinda messed up to say this but if you cant remember, just make it up!” - Prodigy

“I have actually google searched palm reading videos, and the funny thing is, a guy purposely misreads palms to see if people agree. Most chances, they did. It is all about the cold read…..” -drewder

9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):

“A table of common patterns and their meanings would be useful. I felt that I needed more material, but maybe that’s just the perfectionist in me.” -Silver Tongue

“Only modification I can suggest is, if you quote it… OWN IT. If someone says it’s wrong, tell them it just hasn’t happened yet.” - drewder

“I would touch upon the psychic X and number of great loves on their hand. Also I was told by a girl that your dominant hand is how your life is now but you less dominant hand was how your life was laid out when you were born. Always got the girls mystified. Also I would look at their hand and brush it away at first saying ” I cant even talk to you… see this line, that means youre a dork.” - Prodigy

And there you are.  Another great DHV to add to your toolbox.  This routine gets the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval. Thanks to all the guys that tested it out and thanks to all the guys that keep running it.  For this upcoming mission, the TRUTH is, I hope you have BALLS to run this…..  I DARE YOU!!!!!

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

So for the guys that are on the Stylelife Elite Forums, this routine has actually been leaked out.  I won’t say who or how, but I did see this in a field report and I can only say…. WOW!  This is something that Gypsy from the Stylelife Academy crew has taught.  Yet, Farmer has put it together in a pretty good session that I truly believe needs to be tested.  This boasts kino escalation, cold reading, comfort building and an awesome DHV for the guys that pull it off.  Are you ready for the challenge?

First off, this can be set up as an opener, but I recommend using this well after you open.  What kind of routine am I talking about?  How about PALM READING?  That’s right.  This week we are going to break down the art of Palm Reading so you can work it into your sets.  It’s not as hard as you think.  You just gotta do a bit of reading to frame it.  And come on, when has reading up on winning over the girl of your dreams NEVER been fun?

With that I HAND OFF, Gypsy’s Palm Reading DHV

I particularly would love to see this tested out because I have seen a lot of talk on the Palm Reading Skills of fellow PUAs and Social Artists.  So, give this routine a shot and post up what you think about it by Monday, February 15th to see if it gets the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval.

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

Welcome back to the results breakdown of the Cologne Opener.  The Stylelife Moderator, Prodigy, did an incredible breakdown of this classic routine.  As seen in the book The Game, we decided to pull this one out of the closet and test it out just in time for the Valentine’s Day holiday.  After all, no girl wants to be with a guy that smells like butt.

With just a few alterations, this routine has been tested by various Stylelife Academy students, Stylelife Coaches, and of course Style himself.  But, the question is, how did it fare with you?

Now, onto the results of the Cologne Opener:

1. Does it work successfully?

As per test results, all testers agree this routine opens successfully. 5/5 for Successful.
2. How difficult is this routine to master?

According to testers results, everyone agreed that the routine was very easy.  5/5 for being Easy.
3. Did you get called out on using this routine?

None of the testers were called out while using this routine.  5/5 for not getting called out.
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?

All testers stated the hook point strength was pretty strong.  4/5 for Hook Point Strength.
5. Rapport building strength?

Testers stated this routine had an above average rapport building strength.  3/5 for Rapport Building Strength.
6. Your PUA-AFC level?

All testers were between AFC and PUA.
7. Number of times tested?

Tested 41 times.
8. Any additional insight?

As I wrote smelling your wrist first will make them alot more comfortable. -Prodigy

This one is Mall Game Money.-drewder
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):

I always tell girls/sets that “The lady at the cosmetics counter in Macy’s/Sephora/Nordstrom’s is trying to sell me what she thinks the best smelling cologne is. Which one do you think smells better?” Then I follow up with, “I always feel like they are just trying to pitch a sale, even if it smells good or not….” -drewder

10. What scents/colognes did you use?

Play,Play Intense, Pi, Pi Neo - by Givenchy, Cool Water - by Davidoff, Orion, Vice, Apollo - by Axe, Snowdrop.  Most Votes: 1st - Play Intense.  2nd - Play.  3rd - Orion. -Prodigy

Armani Code and Jean Paul Gaultielle-Wiesel

Diesel- Only the Brave.  D&G-#1.  Armani - Code.  Only the Brave was the WINNER. -drewder

And there you have it.  This routine comes out with the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval.  I had faith this one would make it.  I have even seen Style pull it off with out verbally starting it.  It was that easy.

Next routine will be a very HANDY piece that will take a bit of time, but offers lots of kino and is one hell of a DHV.  Come back later this week and you will see what I am talking about.  Till then…..

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

So, as promised in the previous post, we are going to take it back old school.  This was something that Style has personally used and it was in the Game.  I love how when we go back a few years and revamp something that hasn’t been used here, usually spawns some sort of Stylelife Academy member using it to great lengths.  Just because it has been done before and a while ago, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work….

Or does it?

I have seen Style use this particular routine as an example at one of the Stylelife Academy Conferences this past year and I had totally forgotten about its use in the field.  A few guys at Pick Up Labs have been kicking around the idea of bringing it out and I figured, there is only one way to tell. Besides, it has been a while since we have tested out an Opener.

With that, I give you the Cologne Opener

Also, I think as a colorful bit of inspiration for others, post what colognes you used for this (question #10).  Tell us which ones WON or were the best.  If you don’t have any colognes, go to a cosmetics counter and test what they suggest is the best two colognes that THEY recommend (not the two top sellers).  And…. if you are already out at a cosmetics counter, then you are already in the field and ready to test this guy out.

Bring your results back here by Monday, February 1st and let us know how things went.  Until then…

A TIE.

After about a year of routines, some from Style, Stylelife Academy Students, Stylelife Coaches, and other Pick Up Artists, who would have ever thought that the 2009 Best Of Pick Up Labs would come down to The Ring Routine and Style’s 5 Questions Game.

Although, a lot of guys couldn’t pick just one, I made sure to count all suggestions.  The runner ups were Strawberry Fields in 3rd, and there was a tie between Fate’s Future Projection, the Cube, Farmer’s Baby Girl Name Opener, Prodigy’s Gummy Bears vs. Gummy Worms, and Zebulon’s Drink Clutch Routine.

I found it really interesting the way everyone chose ones that worked best for them.  It shows that in truth, there really isn’t a single routine anyone can truly pick from.  There are so many that are great and work for different situations.

Stay tuned for this weeks challenge.  Make sure you have your cameras ready for a really cool mission.  It was something that came from the GAME.  Till then;

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

Every once in a while, I hear people ask in the Stylelife Academy Flashchats, “What is the best routine on Pick Up Labs?”  Good question.  Now, you could go through and look at all the routines that got the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval and see which ones you like, but how about we vote on which one you think is the BEST ROUTINE of Pick Up Labs.  What did you have the most fun with?  Best results?

Let’s start if off with THE CUBE

Again, I’m just asking your opinion because we would really love to know what you guys think.  Now I’ve gotta get back to my buddies real quick, so this should only take a couple minutes.  We all have a couple minutes, right? lol

So you tell us what you liked, didn’t like, what you had the most fun with, what gave you the best results and WHY.  This should be pretty interesting.

Keep Framing and Gaming

With so many great submissions, and a lot of awesome pics, I’ve gotta say that you guys are the best.  When Stylelife Academy Students come together and everyone posts up their pics with either hot girls, being part of a social circle, funny, or just plain scary pix, it was hard to judge who the winner was.  To be honest, no one is a loser (really, read this whole message and you will understand why).  But the ones that really shined are known.  It came down to a few really tough calls.

But, the winner of the Bravo Pose/Free Coaching Call Challenge goes out to:

BIG POPPA

Before the Bravo Pose:

After Bravo Pose Challenge:

So Congrats Big Poppa and like I said, no one is a loser in this.  Expect a surprise email from us here soon about all the details.

Other Great Pix:

Farmer (the Epic Titty Pic).

Prodigy (Mini Boba Fett had us all busting up laughing)

Bayrage and Zebulon both kept this VERY CLOSE.

Again, thanks to everyone for kicking so much ass with this and also expect a surprise email from us.  Kudos and this wraps up the Challenge.  Come back later this week to check out the BEST Pick Up Labs Post of ALL TIME. Until then…..

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING
